Elvis Is In The House

Elvis Is In The House, Oil on panel, 5 x 7", available

Last year while visiting some friends, I took photos of their chickens. I figured that one day I'd get around to painting chickens because they look cool and taste great! Well, as you can see, our friend had some rather plain, drab hens and then this magnificent bird. I don't know what breed this is, but he really reminds me of 70's Elvis, in his white jumpsuit, a bit bloated and really strutting his stuff! Those chicks are his adoring fans.

    This is Elvis the Rooster, indeed. He is strutting in his white suit and few extra pounds, but his fans don't mind a single bit. We do miss Elvis and still enjoy an impostor.

It's a great exercise to study shapes and relative values." Well, I consider my entry as 'strategically' crumbled  paper and that's my story and I'm sticking to it! ;)
